Doctors Medical Center in Modesto, Calif., is offering young surgical patients an alternative ride to the OR: a little black Mercedes Benz convertible, according to an article on the KYVU website.
The hospital is hoping to alleviate the kids' stress and keep their minds on something fun as they go into surgery.
The small one-seater has a fully equipped stereo that has a variety of pre-loaded music, an MP3 player, working headlights, back-up lights and dash lights, as well as a door that can open and close, a seat belt and a horn.
The idea to bring the car into the hospital came from a registered nurse in pre-op.
